That's a real shame. Another option would be to hand over a copy of the complete archive to another part[y|ies], who can then distribute it as they please. Since the data has no real commercial value, I don't see the harm in doing that. I also don't see it ever happening, sadly...
- snowwrestler 14y agoI feel like it is a relic of a Google Past: the search company that wanted to organize the world's information and make it findable. Today's Google seems to be a product company that wants to imitate other major tech companies and beat them at their own game (Google Apps -> Microsoft, Android -> Apple, Google+ -> Facebook).
- smackmybishop 14y agoGoogle bought Android two years before the iPhone came out.
- snowwrestler 14y agoYou're right, it should be Android->Blackberry, until the iPhone came out, then Android->iPhone.
- joezydeco 14y agoYou do know that Andy Rubin had a track record at General Magic and then went on to make the Danger Sidekick, right?
- snowwrestler 14y agoYou're missing my point. I don't hate Android or Andy Rubin. The question is why a search company, whose mission was to organize the world's information and make it findable, bought a mobile phone OS (and eventually, a mobile phone hardware company)--but neglects the Deja archive search engine, which provides access to hundreds of millions of posts of the world's information.
- joezydeco 14y agoBecause the original goal of Android, as it was explained to me at the pre-launch OHA meeting, was to bring the web (and, by connection, AdSense) to the billions of people that couldn't or wouldn't use a desktop PC browser.
